Nairobi to Livingstone in an old Land Rover Defender. Fantastic fun on a very well run expedition.
My best review of Africa Expedition Support is my recommending the trip to two friends who have signed up to do the same trip in 2014. They saw how much my wife and I enjoyed the trip and are keen to do it themselves. Debs, Thiemo and their crew met all of our expectations. Debs communicated well with us pre, during and post the trip so that we were confident at every step. The variety of experiences, accommodation and personalities on the trip were great. The trip leaders were knowledgeable and had the ideal personalities to guide us without leading us, allowing us to feel that we were being somewhat adventurous overlanders whilst still having a degree of oversight and protection. Highly recommended for those with a sense of independent adventure who cannot mount their own overland expedition.

We had a great time in Uganda together with Bushmemories and felt very safe all the time.
We spent 9 days on a Safari-Trip in Uganda with our driver Kenneth from bush memories. We had a lot of fun together and felt very safe on this trip. Kenneth an the people in Uganda itself speak really good english and because we had a driver, he could show us things parallel to the touristic route. We went to a really basic village wich was totally interesting to see an I´m sure we wouldn't have found it without him.
Uganda is such a nice, friendly, beautiful country. The highlight for us was the contact with the Ugandan people and the track to the Gorillas (totally worth it)! To be honest to go on Safari in the Nationalpark and see heeps of animals Kenia or Tansania is better for that.
But Uganda is much more real - and not that touristy like Kenia and Tansania.

Fantastic, amazing, well organised
Second tour with Compass Odyssey, first one was fantastic, this one was brilliant. Prior to the travel we were kept updated and informed constantly as to what we could expect and what was required. The itinerary showed us some of the very best of Southern Africa. Chobe and Vic Falls were incredible, and our second visit to the Kruger National Park was just as stunning as the first. The Okavango Delta was the most amazing highlight which included a very exciting 30 minute stand off with lions on a game walk. The whole trip was extremely well organised not a glitch in sight. We will travel with Compass Odyssey again, the knowledge and passion of our tour guide Darren Humphrys was key to the enjoyment of this trip.

A great trip north to south with diverse landscape and animals
Not knowing what to expect on this trip, I found it a great experience . The tour covered Kruger nation park in the north through Swaziland, the battlefields of the Zulu wars and the Drakensberg mountains. A great wealth of animals during the tour was a highlight. The overall tour was made enjoyable by tour leader Darren and his driver/cook. we always knew what was happening and what was going to happen.
I would recommend a short stay in Cape Town to end the tour

Nairobi to Livingstone 27 Days
We were in 6 Land Rover Defenders [ including the Guide vehicle ] two people per vehicle, which IMO is a much better way to travel if the alternative is a bus with 20+ others. We found that if we staggered leaving in the mornings then stopping for photo ops, comfort breaks etc didn't bunch the group up and added to the sense of independence, we'd meet up for lunch/fuel and then carry on to the overnight stop. Before setting off each morning Jan and Bella would have a team talk to go over the days route book which gave directions and distances also any known problems along the way i.e. roadworks which have to be experienced to be believed, it all worked really well because everybody made it every day. The vehicles all had two way radios and a pre programmed mobile phone.
Highlights for me were the Masai Mara, Zanzibar, Livingstonia/Lake Malawi, Croc River camp, walking with the Lions and who could forget the Microlight flight over Vic Falls.
Some of the camps were pretty basic but most had very reasonably priced upgrades i.e. the Chalet upgrade at Lake Chala was fantastic. Every one pitched in on a rotational basis to help Bella prepping dinner and breakfast which was a good way to break the ice for a group of ten strangers.
Overall we had a great time and would recommend this trip to anyone with a sense of adventure but also wanting a level of freedom that can only be achieved in your own vehicle.

Safe, professional, reliable, the best!
Kanuth Adventure Safaris encompasses everything you need and want for a great safari. I am the travel coordinator for a non profit called Kulea Childcare Villages and we bring teams to Tanzania. We use Kanuth for our safaris. The vehicles are great and we feel very safe. All of the drivers are experienced, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Their knowledge of the parks and wildlife is excellent! They respond promptly and are focused on customer service. A great safari experience.

My Kenyan Safari
My fiancée and I have just finished our Kenya safari with Kikwetu Cultural Adventures. This company is just superb and very organized, they helped to tailor make a 6 day safari for us through Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. The safari was private and we were only two of us in a 4 by 4 landcruizer. We had the chance to see the big five and very many other animals as well as the birds by the help of their ever happy guide (they have professional staff), the accommodation options they made for us were more than our expectations and the magnificent sunset in the lodges brought out the romantic theme as we wished. Thumbs up to you guys you made the safari so sweet and memorable. We intend to come back in December to visit Mombasa and other places we missed. Kudos.

An amazing - all singing all dancing - African experience....!
I spend 4 weeks on the road with Bella and Jan and it was in one word 'amazing'. I loved the Land Rover that was given to me. The meals prepared by Bella were deliciously tasty. Jan did excellent trip briefing before we took off for our daily drives. There was a good, full programme with things to do and see. Thank you for an fabulous time. Hope to do it soon again....!

Lots of birds wonderfulpeople
Birding Trip to Uganda Jan23 to Feb7.
I had a wonderful trip to Uganda with Deo and Robert. Deo organized the trip and was the driver (also guide) and Robert the guide. Robert is an amazing spotter and his knowledge of the birds is astounding. No sound or movement escapes him. If there is a bird somewhere Robert will find it. Both Deo and Robert made sure that we saw as many birds as possible and that we all saw them. We were a group of 6 and came from 3 different continents. Deo is not only a good organizer but has a wonderfully friendly and cheerful personality. We truly enjoyed chatting with him. He is a very good listener and always made sure that everyone was comfortable and spared no effort to keep us all happy. We all enjoyed spending time with him. I wish him great success in his business , he certainly deserves it . He possesses all the qualities and skills required to deal with many diverse personalities and situations.
I want to add that I found the Ugandans welcoming, friendly and so very kind.
